OU basketball notebook: A star in the house

A star in the house

Davidson’s Stephen Curry, like OU’s Blake Griffin, was named a preseason first-team AP All-American. His visit to Norman on Tuesday night marked just the third time in non-conference play that a first-team All-American faced the Sooners in Lloyd Noble Center.

Up next

The Runnin’ Bulldogs are 0-2, losing close games at Virginia Tech and at Longwood.

OU beat Gardner-Webb a year ago, after the Bulldogs had pulled one of the season’s big upsets, winning at Kentucky.

After that game, the Sooners return to action in the NIT Season Tip-Off. They’ll face Tuesday’s late Arizona-UAB winner in a semifinal at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 26.
